Check out http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/dal-upgrade.html.  There's a lot
of good information there on configuring your kernel and your system to
run an ircd in the most optimized fashion possible.  As far as hardware
goes, ircd doesn't require much disk space, but it does use a fair amount
of memory, depending on how large of a network you're on.  I would
recommend a minimum of 64 MB of memory, or if you're on a large network,
at least 128 MB.  ircd doesn't use that much, but that way your system
still has plenty of memory left for its other tasks.
